Event Details

***SOLD OUT*** Sparks will fly on the first of July!

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai is throwing a lively street festival for the celebration of Canada’s historic 150th birthday, and we want to party with you! Mark your calendars and join us at Waitanyuan for a day filled with great Canadian food, live music, art and fun activities for the entire family.

Canada Day for Canadians is all about being with family and friends… the backyard BBQ, sharing a drink from the cooler with new friends and old, sitting back to enjoy the day while the children’s carefree laughter is another indication that summer is officially here. Whether you’re in Shanghai for a short stay or a veteran of this crazy fast-paced city, CanCham is planning to ensure your family and friends will have the most enjoyable time at this year’s Canada Day with us.

Satisfy your taste buds at one of our many food and beverage booths hosted by Shanghai’s favorite local Canadian restaurants. Start your food adventure with the Canadian classic poutine at Hungry Lung’s Kitchen, saunter over to Tock's for a bite of their infamous Montreal smoked meat sandwich, make sure to bring napkins to wipe away your drool as Big Bamboo prepares your burger just the way you like it. But just because it’s Canada Day, doesn’t mean we only serve Canadian food. We have a great selection of food booth available from across the globe (La Crêperie, Pistolera, Blind Pig, Kakadu, etc), so don’t miss out!

Yet, what’s Canada Day Street Festival without a bar? We don’t plan to disappoint either. Visit the CanCham Bar to cool off with some classic summer drinks that will definitely be needed for July in Shanghai. Enjoy a glass of Chardonnay from Clear Lake Wineries and other beverages such as beer, wine, cider, mixed drinks (shhh… I heard Caesars are on the menu), and blueberry juice from Nova Scotia for the kids!

Speaking of children, you can be sure that we have planned many activities for them as well. Get your face painted from professional makeup artists from Cirque du Soleil , see how high you can jump with the bouncy castle from the Apple Montessori School, then enjoy interactive games or settle down for arts and crafts with Inspire Sports, and let’s not forget the scavenger hunt for all the children in attendance at Canada Day to win a small prize.

Stroll through our Farmer’s Market to sample some great products from both Canada and China, try out your luck with the raffle draw with amazing prizes kindly donated by our in-kind sponsors (weekend getaway at Naked Retreat, afternoon tea with the girls on the Bund, fitness classes to keep you in shape all year long, and many more!), and be in awe as Magna flaunts their leading position in the automotive industry with a live car demo!

We are going big this year, and we won’t quit till we know you have thoroughly enjoyed yourself at our Canada Day Street Festival!
